Fort Lauderdale, FL Wedding Photographer & Videographer

Beach ceremonies, ballroom evenings, and light that forgives nothing and rewards everything — Fort Lauderdale weddings keep us on our toes.

Wedding photographers & videographers in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale means planning for sun that is gorgeous and unforgiving — we schedule ceremonies for the soft hours, scout shade for portraits, and treat an afternoon storm as intermission, not catastrophe.

Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Fort Lauderdale surprises us on the morning of.

The light in Fort Lauderdale

Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Fort Lauderdale than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 8:14 PM and golden hour opens around 7:40 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:52 PM — a swing of 1 hour 22 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Fort Lauderdale ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

Where couples marry in Fort Lauderdale

These are the Fort Lauderdale venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.

Questions couples in Fort Lauderdale ask us

Do you charge a travel fee for weddings in Fort Lauderdale, FL?

No. Elizabeth Scott is a national studio and travel is built into every collection, so a Fort Lauderdale wedding costs the same as one across the street from us.

Do you offer wedding videography in Fort Lauderdale as well as photography?

Yes. Every collection is available as photography, film, or both from one senior team. Combined coverage starts at $3,000 and gives you a single timeline instead of two vendors negotiating for the same light.

Have you photographed weddings in Fort Lauderdale before?

Not every venue in Fort Lauderdale, and we say so. When a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: ceremony light, where formals hold up, how long the walk between spaces really takes.

Timeless, true-to-color imagery — several hundred edited photos per wedding.

Films

Story-first edits built from your real audio — vows, letters, laughter.

Combined

One team for both — the best value and the smoothest timeline.
